TBURBAN NEWS? THE EVENING S TAR., WASHINGTON, TAMFLEDINTST] FIVALLY REFETE Controller General McCarl Acts on Damages of $99,756 Asked by Filipino Family. Two Navy gunhoats that entered the | harbor at Legaspi, Philippine Islands, on January 23, 1900, and flung shells with all the abandon of an American Navy a$ war started something that Controller General McCarl has just fin- iched by disallowing a claim for prop- erty damage. When the gunboats convoyed two sol- dier-laden transports to the harbor the water front and surrounding territory were in the possession of hostile Fili- os. The gunboats laid down & bom- bardment and the soldiers went in and cleaned up the place. Along the water front, were warchouses and other porp- erties of one Josefa Fernandez Viuda de Onandina and the warehouse went down upder fire, Claim Is Filed. Jose Manuel Onandina of the family filed a claim for damages with the Tinited States military governor in the Philippines on November 13, 1901, ask- ing $99,756.85 in Mexican money. A board of officers disallowed the claim and the military governor concurred. Since that time various relatives have | brought. the case to the attention of the American Government and virtually rvery administration since. 1900 has | heen ed to overrule disallowance of the claim. The last time the claim was: disallowed was in 1928, and now Con- troller General McCarl has written what ahould be the final word in the case, | McCarl's office turned historian in | writing the ruling and presented a com- nrehensive background of precedent for the crix of the opinion, which was that | pertonz residing n enemy territory | muct be considercd a3 enemies during | urh residence, without regard to their | personal sentiments or dispositions.” Held They Were Friendly. The Onandia relatives, in asking a re- | view of the case., contended thev were friendly 10 the United States and that the American gunboats fired upon their residence and warchouses without warn- inz. However, in the seven-page decision the controller general made available to the family an authentic word-picture of the bombardment of 30 years ago; de- tailed discussion of similar cases argued n Congress; the meat of several deci- ns of the Supreme Court of the United States and several text-book treatises on the subject of the Govern- ment’s liability for property damages in time of war, pi SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at_and_Sailings From New York.

By & Staft Correspondent of The Star. BELTSVILLE, Md.. August 28.—A' new type of mechanical milking unit, in which a transparent, stationary con- tainer is substituted for the usual port- able receptacle, is being operated at the United States Department of Agricul- ture dairy experiment farm here and shows promise of reducing the cost and labor of milk production, facilitating the keeping of records and producing cleaner product. The new method was was originated by R. R. Graves, Briefly, the system consists of a me- chanical milking unit of standard make, but instead of the usual portable recep- tacle for the milk it is drawn into a statlonary container located between two stalls and somewhat above the cows. The receptacle is of unbreakable glass and is suspended from a weighing mechanism. Its transparency makes the rate of milking visible to the opera- tor at all times both by the amount of | milk in the receptable and by the weight. registered by the scale. When s to flow into the recep- ator records the weight of the milking and opens a valve which permits the milk to be drawn from the | bottom of the contalner through & sani- | tary pipe line to a large vacuum tank | in the dairy house nearby. | Tests of the bacterial content of the | milk produced under this new system | made by the division of market. milk investigations have shown some remark- | ably low count. | THE NEW SHOW WORLD...THE The greatest names in all branches of the en- tertainment world . . siage, screen, musie, radio . . . contributing their talent.
